A favourite colour of mine – Pool Party – is the colour in focus for the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop this week. What I love about Pool Party is that it coordinates with just about any other colour. For me, it acts as another neutral. The soft blue just blends so beautifully with different colours or designs.
A perfect colour for snow, I felt this snowman image was just right for this card. I coloured the snowman using a Blender Pen and Pool Party ink refill. The scarf and hat were coloured with Stampin’ Blends and I added some check details with the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend.
The tree and sled were coloured in Stampin’ Blends. Around the die cut rectangle I added some ink blending with a Blending Brush. I loved how this image turned out in a monochromatic palette.
I added a snowflake circle die cut from the Joyful Images Mix & Match Ephemera Pack which brings in this entire scene together. To adorn the tree I used some Ombre Matte Dots which I had actually forgotten to use in a while and they were the perfect size to add as an ornaments.
I hope you have been inspired by my monochromatic Christmas card this week. Shop the products for this card in my Online Store HERE.

Welcome to this week’s CASEing the Catty Sunday Challenge blog hop.. For CTC495 we are CASEing any die project from either of the Stampin’ Up! Annual or Mini Catalogues.
I am CASEing the double die cut look of this card on Page 53 of the Annual Catalogue which uses the Unbounded Love dies. For today’s card I have used the label die from the Regal Flora dies to replicate this look.
To create the background, I watercoloured a piece of Fluid 100 Cardstock with Summer Splash and Crumb Cake ink refills. Then I die cut the label, using both the inner and outlines to create the sketch.
I had fun layering several pieces of ephemera to create the focal element. This seems like cheating because ephemera makes it super easy to create a multi-layered project like this.
Even the sentiment wsa from an ephemera pack and it’s gold embossed! A lovely large bow from Gold Twisted thred sits under the paper bow and some Peppermint embellishments add the finishing touches to this card.
A supply list to create this card is listed below and can be purchased from my Online Store or by getting in touch with me. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous week ahead.

For this week’s Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop featuring Gorgeous Grape, I’m using up my paper scraps to create an interesting background for my card.
How many times do we get left with bits and pieces of scrap paper that are ‘too good to throw away’ but not big enough to cover a card front? You know how us crafters like to hoard right? Today’s sketch is a fun and effective way to use those up.
I cut up 1 cm strips of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and adhered them to White Cardstock at different angles. Initially, I wanted all the DSP strips to be perfectly straight but as I started laying them out, they shifted slightly and I liked this look.
This took away the need for precise placement and perfect spacing. No more stressing about getting everything aligned—just let the pieces fall into place naturally. Not only does this add a playful, casual vibe to the design, but it also makes the process so much faster! Perfect for when you need a quick card but still want it to look fun and creative.
I used the dies from the Cheerful Daisies dies and die cut the top and bottom layer of the daisy from Basic White Cardstock and blended Gorgeou Grape ink onto the die cuts. This is a method I prefer to die cutting from coloured Cardstock as it creates variation in the colouring. The centre layer of the daisy was die cut from the same sheet of Designer Series Paper as the strips.
The centre of the flower was die cut from Basic Black Cardstock and heat embossed in Black 3 times to get a high gloss finish adding depth and shine that really draws the eye. To complement the bold center, I added some die cut white leaves. I left the centers of the leaves intact, giving them a fuller look that helped them stand out beautifully against the background.
A few splatters in Black, Tinsel Gems and a baby bow from twine add the finishing touches to this card.
A product list is below to assist with recreating this project.

Hi friends, Welcome to the October New at SU blog hog. Our theme this month is Sketches – a crafter’s secret tool! Each of us have selected a sketch from Page 16 of the Stampin’ Up! September-December Mini Catalogue to CASE. I’ve used the Humble Home bundle to feature with my sketch.
The sketch I chose to work with is the second one from the left in the last row. This sketch had me stumped for a bit and I was wondering how I was going to come up with some images that would work cohesively around the circle. My mind kept going back to Page 26 where the same sketch is used with the Reindeer Days suite and I used it as inspiration.
I chose the same circle die with the foliage from the Reindeer Fun bundle and die cut the aperture from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper. Behind it, I added a panel of Basic White Cardstock embossed with the Forever Plaid embossing folder, blending some Pool Party ink along the bottom and adding splatters with a Pool Party Stampin’ Blend.
For the 3 elements I added the house, a large heart and the sentiment. Placing these around the aperture replicated the rectangles and square in the sketch.
I added some foliage from the Winterly Tree Tops Dies, die cut from Crumb Cake Cardstock and shaded with Crumb Cake ink. Small hearts punched out from White Cardstock with the Humble Home punch were coloured with the Light Peach Pie Stampin’ Blend and scattered around with some Dappled Dots.
The Humble Home Bundle is both adorable and versatile, making it a fantastic addition to your cardmaking collection for use all year round!
Thank you for stopping by and I’d love it if you leave me a comment as you hop through to check out Ximena Morales’ beautiful creation.
